I know bob. I mis-interpreted the original post the first time around. As for google. every computer that accesses a website downloads the contents of that site to its temporary files. same for servers. googles spider engines have to access information from those sites in order to display them in search listings, which means that somewhere on google's servers those images and files are stored. even though google itself is not directly or deliberately hosting those sites' content, they still have to access it and then deliver it to those who use google to search for those sites and/or images. so once these laws are set in place permenantly, maybe search engines like google and others will just be required to - or voluntarily - prevent searches of any adult content.
